Murder, she twote.

And I would have as well; anyone who twote as the past tense of tweet (in the twitter sense) is completely deserving of a good stab or two.

So, internet, I've given in. I got a twitter. I know, shocking, and you probably want to hit me with something blunt. Or perhaps something not blunt? the pen may be mightier than the sword, but no one got famous for pulling a pen out of a stone. Which brings to mind why the sword was in the stone in the first place- that's always been far more interesting to me.

Anyways. Yes, I got a twitter, but I have an excuse. I was actually wanting to get an account for a while, but always put it off. However, my summer school teacher (read my last post for more on that) is very big on the use of technology in the classroom. he started a ning, he encourages us to bring laptops and other devices to class, and he is sending out twitter updates to the class- I had to get an account. It was required for my education. See what a good story that makes? Now whenever someone asks I have a great little tale to spin for them.

If you're interested, you can find me on twitter here. I warn you that this is only my second day on the website, and I update ferociously often. If you don't want to get annoyed every ten minutes, I would not recommend adding me to your mobile updates. but do as you please.

There was lots in the first couple paragraphs here that I wanted to talk about, actually. First of all, the past tense of tweet is definitely twote.

"He has tweeted lots of stuff in the past." <- hardly.

"He has twote lots of stuff in the past." <- isn't that much better? And the whole sword/stone/pen/mighty debacle. First of all, well done arthur on removing the sword and becoming king, blah blah blah. (Speaking of kings, check this out. Great song, great video) But I personally want to know who put the sword in that bloody stone in the first place! If you can jam a blade into a rock, and somehow do it with enough

strength/magic that only one man- boy, really- can get it out, you've got way more talents than some little Anglo=Saxon boy ever did.

And yes, the pen is mightier than the sword. That made sense when people still used pens: of course, the sword was the first to appear. And yes, it did cause its fair share of violence and havoc. When people started using the written word as a way of defending or fighting for their rights, this phrase made perfect sense. But the keyboard is mightier still than the pen. Analog paper and ink is good and all, but if you can type something and put it on the internet (much like I'm doing now) then you've got way more of a chance getting your message out than some guy writing into the papers. That's all I'm saying.

And now, nano, I leave you. I've got one more Discworld novel to finish (has anyone read Terry pratchett? Satirical fantasy, british 1970s? Great stuff, really quite fantastic) and then I think I'll play some Pokemon soul silver. I am fully aware of how nerdy this paragraph was, and so I shall leave you with the words of one of my new favourite bloggers.
